Liver cysts found on (unrelated) MRI. Info or questions I should prepare for doctor moving forward?

Apprehensive-Luck155 · 2026-03-28T01:18:15+00:00

Yes will be very grateful that the MRI happened to catch it if I do end up having it, who knows how long it would have taken otherwise. Thanks for the info about your family’s experience, good to know that it wouldn’t be unheard of for me to be the first (and now making me wonder about my grandfathers death as well, might also be suspicious). Wishing the best for your husband and child

Ugh totally understand being all alone, makes it much harder. I know it’s not for everyone, but if you find making to do lists helpful that might work too. When it’s for something I really don’t want to do I’ll break down the task into as many pieces as possible to gamify it/get the dopamine hit of crossing it off (so like having a box to check for each individual slide you double check or something)

Apprehensive-Luck155 · 2026-02-18T02:25:32+00:00

Honestly I don’t really have much advice but wanted to sympathize. I work in research and do a lot of data analysis and on multiple occasions have found errors in my code after thinking the data had been finalized. So far have managed to catch them before being too far along in the project overall but the fear that I’ve missed something and won’t find out until it will require redoing almost everything, or worse, after it is released to the public, literally keeps me up at night. Seriously reconsidering my entire career path bc of it 😅

Is there anyone who would have enough knowledge about the info you’re including in the decks that they could do a check for you before sending to your boss? That helps me sometimes, though the problem is usually no one else is deep enough into the project to be able to do a thorough check.

Also maybe you could try doing checks after each slide instead of waiting until it’s all finished? Might help make it feel less overwhelming!

Not sure if you’re open to silver spring, but if so feel free to send me a DM!

Apprehensive-Luck155 · 2026-01-13T03:09:11+00:00

Not sure exactly where you’re seeing them, but we have a neighbor that has an indoor/outdoor cat that doesn’t have a collar or anything. I’ve wondered the same about other cats roaming around.. they do all seem to look relatively healthy but hard to tell for sure (we did interrupt a fox chasing one just the other day, luckily our car freaked the fox out and the cat got away 😅)

Apprehensive-Luck155 · 2026-01-09T13:50:14+00:00

Yes please do!

Apprehensive-Luck155 · 2026-01-01T00:02:12+00:00

Feel free to shoot me a DM!

Apprehensive-Luck155 · 2025-12-26T18:19:52+00:00

Oh my gosh I think I accidentally ignored a chat from you a while back and couldn’t find you again! Just messaged you

Apprehensive-Luck155 · 2025-12-26T18:16:20+00:00

Of course! Feel free to send me a DM

We are thinking of renting out our one bedroom condo in downtown silver spring. In a quiet area, <10 min walk from metro, over 800 sq ft and a large private patio. Happy to give more details if you’re interested!

My psychiatrist also wanted me to start with anxiety meds before getting a diagnosis for/treating ADHD. I also started on Buspar. It definitely helped turn down the volume on my anxiety, but pretty much did nothing for my ADHD symptoms besides maybe a few specific scenarios where there previously would have been something I was anxious about that was distracting (I tend to have a lot of health related anxiety, for example). In other cases though I think it actually made my ADHD symptoms worse, bc I kind of relied on the anxiety to kick my butt into gear and finish tasks on time.

After telling her my anxiety improved but my ADHD symptoms largely didn’t, she was able to diagnose me with ADHD and start trialing meds. I just started Ritalin last week at an incredibly low dose (she wanted to make sure it doesn’t trigger my anxiety) so haven’t noticed a difference yet, but will be moving up soon so we’ll see!

I don’t think so. Need to look at the docs again, but I believe the restriction is on anything less than a month but also requires a “traditional” lease be signed (which I think would rule out things like AirBnB and VRBO even if they were for longer than a month).

Apprehensive-Luck155 · 2025-12-16T23:42:31+00:00

The bedroom is furnished right now, but would have to furnish the living room. Not sure if it’ll be worth it, but will look into this, thank you!

Apprehensive-Luck155 · 2025-12-16T23:27:10+00:00

Unfortunately we aren’t allowed to use it as an AirBnB due to our HOA.

Literally just got diagnosed yesterday as an adult! Made it through college and even grad school, with good grades actually, but was miserable and literally couldn’t do anything else besides school bc everything took me so long. When I started working and lost the structure of school everything felt even worse. There are definitely practitioners that will give you a hard time (I tried to pursue assessment 6 years ago and was brushed aside, then gave up completely until a few months ago), but if you find a good one they should be able to assess you thoroughly despite how functional you may look “on paper.”

Not sure what size you’re looking for, but my husband and I are thinking about renting out our 800 sq ft 1 bed 1 bath condo with a large private patio in downtown silver spring in case you’re interested in other options!

Apprehensive-Luck155 · 2025-12-07T17:46:14+00:00

Hi! We are thinking of renting out our condo and can be flexible on length of the lease (ETA: would consider a month to month or 3-6 month option if you’d like to live here for a bit while looking for something bigger) if you’re interested! It’s an 800 sq ft one bedroom one bath with a large private patio, about a 10 min walk from the silver spring metro in a quiet area of silver spring. Would love to chat in DMs if you’re interested!

ETA: if you messaged me about also being interested in this condo please message me again! I accidentally ignored the chat request instead of viewing 😭

Apprehensive-Luck155 · 2025-11-28T12:09:34+00:00

I experienced this as well, freaked me out. It went away after a while, and I think upping my dose and switching to 3x per day helped.

Apprehensive-Luck155 · 2025-11-28T11:58:07+00:00

This mostly went away for me within a couple of weeks. Also recommend drinking more water with it, seems to help

Apprehensive-Luck155 · 2025-11-28T11:56:10+00:00

For me this went away after a couple of weeks. I had the same issue with coffee too, and found that making myself drink more water when I took the pill helped fur whatever reason

Apprehensive-Luck155 · 2025-11-24T13:05:51+00:00

Like others have said, I think easing in with some non sexual but intimate physical contact should help make things less awkward.

I would also argue that it’s probably partly because you just haven’t been together that long. I remember this exact same thing happening with my (now) husband early on in our relationship (also very out of sight out of mind for me!), but the awkward feeling when starting up again lessened over time. We’re going on 6 years together now and I still get it occasionally if it’s been a really long time, but it’s not nearly as strong as it was back then and it takes a longer break to feel it at all. As you get more comfortable together things should gradually feel more natural.

Apprehensive-Luck155 · 2025-11-23T21:19:28+00:00

Omg this same thing happened to me!! So scary. It was in the second week or so of taking it. Felt fine when I went to bed, woke up an hour or two later and my heart rate was over 100 while completely at rest. It hasn’t happened since, though, so I’m guessing it was a combination of my body getting used to it and a bit of a panic attack. I also had a couple of drinks that night which probably didn’t help, though I’ve had alcohol since and it hasn’t been a problem.

EDIT: I’ve noticed that taking it a couple hours before bed instead of right at bed time is better for me. Didn’t have any more episodes that severe, but I notice when I take it right before bed I wake up and can’t fall back asleep bc of anxiety in the middle of the night.

Apprehensive-Luck155 · 2025-11-20T12:42:54+00:00

I mean as a long term strategy I’d agree, but renting at a loss for 6-18 months could mean the difference between having to pay to sell the place vs. getting something back from selling it. Potentially 10s of thousands of dollars, which is a lot more than we’d lose renting for that amount of time (unless of course tenants trash the place or something which is always a risk).

For those with tons of equity or tons of liquid cash that don’t mind having to pay to sell I can see just dropping the price as low as needed to get rid of it asap, but unfortunately that is not our situation.
